What were they thinking when they made this movie? A talented director such as De Palma has directed bad movies that could have been good (Snake Eyes). But this movie makes Snake Eyes look like an Academy Award winner. He recycles all filming elements from that movie into this one. It doesn't work though. The film consists of some great actors such as Gary Sinise, Don Cheadle, and Tim Robbins. Yet they are given nothing to do and given cheap lines. The music makes the dramatic moments comical and through the whole movie all I thought of was, "Get me out of here." If I had payed for it, I would have.

In case you don't know what the film is about, the plot consists of the first mission to Mars meets with failure and death, they send another group to investigate and perhaps rescue the survivors. What they find is the evolution of humans came from a source on mars.

But what you will find is boredom and annoyance. Advice if you have yet to see it. Don't. 1 out of 10 stars.

I was astounded when I saw this movie. It is one of those rare animations that you see something different. Usually it is all formula, but when Tim Burton has something to do with the movie, then you know that it will be different. People complained that it was too scary for little children. Hence the word NIGHTMARE and the PG-13 rating. It is there for a reason. But this was a very fun movie, had a great soundtrack that I bought. Danny Elfman should have been nominated for music and songs. His music and singing were terrific. The story was very cool and funny and it is a movie that I will add to my collection.

This is a great film. I am a star wars freak and was not disappointed at all. The film had flaws as all do, but it was still great. Unfortunately the critics ruined the film for some people. They said that the film was horrible, but thats what they said about the episodes 4,5,and 6. Now they love it. I will answer their main complaints.

1. Jar Jar-- Yeah he got annoying at times. He was put in for the kids. Like the ewoks. And also like the ewoks he eventually grows on you. See it more then once to see what I mean.

2. Underdeveloped characters-- This is the introduction. You will learn more about all the characters as the next two come out. Especially Qui Gon Jinn.

3. Bad acting-- They're some bad performances, but there are some good ones. Liam Neeson, Ewan Mcgreggor (perfect for the role), Ian Mcdermind, and who could forget, Frank Oz.

The biggest problem I had with the movie was Anakin. I felt that he was too young. So when the one part where him and padme say that they care for each other it seems more like a mother-son relationship and not something that will develop into a husband-wife. They could have made him a little older but everything else was good. I liked how they snuck in E.T. and other creatures. And the fight scenes were done masterfully. 9 out of 10
